I’m thinking of a friend who married a widow who had already buried two husbands. Knowing how he grieved when his wife of more than fifty years passed, he asked her how she did it. How did she go on living after losing two husbands to death? She replied, “Life goes on if you let it.” That was all, but in that moment he realized the Lord was giving him the key to move beyond his grief. It was his wife’s words and her voice, but it was the Lord who spoke to him.
“The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life…”
— Proverbs 10:11 (NIV)
Lord Jesus, help us discern Your counsel even when it is our friend’s voice we hear. In Your holy name we pray. Amen.
